Loyal reader Robert sent us this quick note:

Just a quick public service announcement – Brio Burrito is NOT Rio Burrito. Some new guys have taken over the South shop, and are putting out sub-taco-bell-quality burritos. Our crew had their hopes set high that Rio Burrito was back in business – in reality, their burritos are NOTHING like Rio’s.

My ‘beans and cheese’ burrito was badly wrapped in a tiny, doughy wheat wrap. The salsa was weak, and had no flavour. The cheese/beans/rice were so bland, they were practically tasteless. In all, it was a major disappointment. Apparently, the lad that went down to pick up the order saw two of the original workers in the queue behind him – I hate to think what they thought of the new ‘burritos’!
